What is the process by which layers of sedimentary rock are formed?
The process by which layers of sedimentary rock are formed is called strata.
Sedimentary rocks form when layers of small particles are compressed?
The small particles are compressed under water to then form sedimentary rocks
Sedimentary rock is classified according to the types of particles that make up the layers of what?
the layers of sedement.
What does the rock cycle have anything to do with fossils?
Sedimentary rocks are rocks that are formed by layers of different things compacting very tightly. These layers can have a lot of different things in them, like fossils. So, sedimentary rocks are partially made up of fossils.

What is formed from layers of tiny particles from weathered rocks?
Detrital sedimentary layers.
Rocks formed from sediments deposits?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediment deposits (gravel, sand, silt, clay) over long periods of time either on land or in water (lakes, oceans). As more and more sedimentary layers are deposited, the newer layers exert pressure on the older layers, which compacts the loose particles and cements them together - forming sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks can also be formed through the precipitation of dissolved minerals to form limestone or dolomite.
When water deposits tiny particles of clay in very thin flat layers what is formed?
Clays are formed.
How do small particles form sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the layering of materials, as new layers are added, they compress the lower layers which eventually physically adhere together.
What rocks is formed in layers?
Sedimentary rock, like limestone, is formed in layers.
What is the process by which layers of sedimentary rock are formed?
The process by which layers of sedimentary rock are formed is called strata.
What sedimentar rock is formed from thin layers of clay compaced tightly together?
This sedimentary rock is shale. Proof of this is in the introduction of this WikiPedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shale G'day _______________________________________________________________________ PS: Forgive me, but this sounds almost exactly like the question from the "Taken for Granite" sheet, and judging by how recent the question is, I think that you could've gotten this answer if you typed it in google. --Chewy (if you are who I think you are, you'll get who I am)
What is sedimentary rock like?
it is a rock that has been formed by weathered particles forming layers and coming together to make a rock
What rock formed in layers?
sedimentary rock
Is sedimentary rocks are formed in layers?
YES
Sedimentary deposits built into relatively regular layers are known as?
Strata.
